CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and help others be happy

ABOUT ME

«I am the son, I am the heir, of a shyness that is criminarly vulgar», so says Morrissey and I agree. I am a creative, romantic, sensitive guy, who likes poetry, particularly the one contained in music and cinema and art and photography and books. I've convinced myself I'm capable of doing it, rather than just admiring it. Consequently, I am frustrated. But naive enough to still believe in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself.
